I moved to Goiania, GO with my Brasilian wife this past December. Just a few observations:
As friendly as they appear, Brasilians don't socialize as would westerners. I had to learn that you can spend hours with a group of Brasilians and never learn their names. Be patient and keep learning the language. Buy a pocket translator, a big help. Finally Brasilians joke a LOT, This will complicate your learning of the lingo. It's best to let it pass and wait for the next train of thought to arrive so you can get back on "track".

I just moved to Rio couple of weeks ago.  Though not a brit I am fluent in english.

I hail from Singapore so if your husband and yourself want to meet up, we can always arrange something.  Maybe we can organize a meetup with the rest of the english speaking community staying in Rio.

Hi guys,

I'm in the same boat as you guys-was living in London, and then NZ for a year, and moved over here for my wife's work.
She is Brasillian and has friends, but I'm keen to extend to English speaking peeps for my sanity too :-)
Based in Ipanema.
Get in touch if you and ur hubby keen to go for a drink sometime.
Cheers,
Doug

Hi Nicola, I don't live in Rio but I have moved to brazil 3 months ago to uberlandia to be with my fiance who is from here. I'm finding it difficult here at time having no friends and finding it a challenge learning the language. Be nice to meet new friends. How are you finding it over here?  X

Hello!

I am a translator and PhD student from Rio. I will be happy to help anyone who needs to practice Portuguese and I would love to meet new friends to practice English and Spanish.

Cheers!

Hi you can talk to me any time you like
and Iam English

Hello,

FYI.  I am tentatively planning to go to some of the "CHEAP" Olympic games.  If anyone wants to go to the same games, please let me know.

I am interested in the volleyball in Copacabana, the basketball and gymnastic.  The cheap teickets for the opening and closing ceremony are NOT available at this time.

PLEASE if anyone has a negative comment about the Olympics, PLEASE do not tell me about it.  I know how to buy OFF to keep the mosquitos away and wear proper clothes.  I know how to go with little money, wear a cheap watch and go with other people to be safe.  I have been to New Orleans many times and know all about crime and hate.  I have had my ex-wife robbed at 2:00 PM in the afternoon walking down the sidewalk with our daughter in a very nice neighborhood in HOUSTON, TEXAS.  So Again, PLEASE take your negative comments and do NOT respond to my comment.  Many young people have worked for years to prepare for these games.  These young people come from all over to the world.  It may their first or only time to see Brasil.   I wish them well. I will go to support them and have a good time.

If you are interested, please contact me directly.  I prefer to do a Skype video.  This cost is zero!!!!!!!
